TOPICS > Nation > memorial day. Nearly 500,000 military personnel died during the U.S. Civil War. Thatâs almost half of all Americans who have ever died during wartime, and more than a hundred times more than died during the American Revolution, according to the latest estimates from the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Coca-Cola (KO) owns Dasani and PepsiCo (PEP) owns the Aquafina line of bottled water. But they are running into a problem -- selling bottled water isn't very profitable, and there is a deeply competitive market responding quickly to shifting consumer tastes.
Â· Aquafina ranges between 5.5-7.0 (which is neutral or more acidic). Â· Smartwater has a pH of about 7.0 (which is neutral). Â· Evian has a pH of 7.2 (which is more alkaline). In the end, bottled mineral waters tend to be alkaline. Non-mineral bottled waters are unlikely to be alkaline. And adding mineral powders to regular tap water can it more alkaline.
